Christie Trial
'Continued From Page One)
ad up there April 1.
NO SEX INSTRUCTION
But Malheson said he believed
that as a young man the defendant
•received no sexual instruction at
all."
The doctor said the 55-year old
former clerk has a "hysterical
personality” but ‘‘l think he was
sane.” ,
In cross-examination the defense
drew and acknowledgement from
Matheson that Christie “is abnor
mal.”
Dr. Desmond Curran, a London
psychiatrist, told the court “the
obvious motive was a sexual one”
when asked why he believed Chris
tie gassed some of his victims be
fore strangling them.
A special microphone installed be
side the witness box in the Old
Bailey criminal court caught most
but not all of Christie’s testimony.
He seldom spoke above a hoarse,
halting whisper, arid frequently
was so overcofne by sobbing that
nothing he said could be under
stood.
Defense attorney Dfirek. Curtis-
Bennett, who is trying to prove
that his client was “hopelessly,
utterly mad” in the grip of sexual
passioq when he slew his victims,
asked .Christie today V”" h-.trniat
to kill three young women wbott
bodies were found behind the wall
paper in his kitchen.
FORCED ON HIM
The bald, dome - headed little
transportation clerk said all three
of the women forced themselves on
him, so he “just strangled” them.
When he was asked specifically
why he killed ’one of the women
Christie twisted his hands nervously
and replied “I don’t think I know."
"Does that apply to all these
killings?" Curtis -> Bennett asked.
“Had you any motive in any of
them?”
“No,” Christie said.
On cross examination, chief pros
ecutor Sir Lionel Heald attacked
the defense argument that Christie
was insane.
The three women whose deaths
were discussed in court today were
Kathleen Maloney, 25, Rita' Nelson,
24, and Hectorina MacLennan, 25,,
tall of whom were killed early this
year.
Christie said he met Miss Ma
| loney in January near a shop where
he went to get food for his pets,
a cat and a dog.
Clutching the o*Ue of the witness
| box with one bony hand, he said
i she accosted him and demanded
money, warning that otherwise
‘‘she was going to scream and say
I had interfered with her.”
So he took her hpme to his seedy
tenement flat, • antk went with her
into the kitchen. Christie said.
“SHE WAS REPULSIVE”
“She started to take her clothes
off.” he said, ”Bhe was very re
pulsive.”
He said they quarreled, and she
tried to lilt him with a pan.
“What happened then?” Curtis
for hex not “missing” out
on the epicurean ikrßh he’s come
to expect here regularly.

Bennett asked.
“I think I strangled her,” Chris
tie murmured. “I believe it was
with a piece of cord.” He added
that he was “not quite certain,”
whether he also violated her.
He said he thinks Miss Maloney
was sitting in the "Murder chair”—
a shabby canvas deck chair,
brought into court as an exhibit
when he killed her. He testified
yesterday that others of his vic
tims were killed In the chair.
In response to questions, Christie
said next that he met Miss Nelson
In a case near his apartment. She j
‘‘asked me for a cigarette.” he
said, and then went home with him.
"She undressed,” he said. ”1 was
protesting, and she got very an-
I noyed."
, "Did you have intercourse with
her?” Curtis-Bennett asked.
“It seems I must have done.”
“Did you do anything else?” I
“I JUST STRANGLED HER”

sobbed.

they do not now possess. Hall prob
ably would be content with any
gain at all, however small.
Before Hall took over and when
patronage was being handled at the
White House, the anguish of con-
gressional Republicans was ex
treme. Speaker Joseph W. Martin
Jr. (R- Mass.,) for example,
learned from newspaper stories
that several persons in his district
had won federal jobs.
Sen. Robert A. Taft R-O. led
a protesting delegation to the White
House. Republicans on Capital Hill
were angry, and afraid that ama
teur White House patronage dis
pensers would ruin them politically.
PAGE THREE
Rightly or wrongly, Chief Presiden
tial assistant Sherman Adams, of
New Hampshire, was blamed, for
most of the trouble.
Barring an occasional extraordi
nary case, Adams and the White
Housie are out of the patronage
business now. Hall Is In charge
and he is dealing wih Republicans
in Congress or with party spokes
men in the field, as circumstances
direct. . 5
